These large colourful paintings were captivating, as was sitting watching the film of the artist painting. At first the naivety of the works possibly distracted me from their intelligence and at times brutal messages. Strongly political and strongly feminist these works speak boldly of times past and the the sins of the fathers... Drawing from film, popular culture, news imagery and almost anything that seems to catch Wylie's eye these paintings seem to evolve out of popular culture and a wide history to call into question the stories we might be told.
